Question 120622
The sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49. Find all three consecutive odd integers. 
:
Let the odd consecutive integers be: x, (x+2), (x+4)
:
Write an equation for the statement:
"sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49."
(x+4) + 2x  = 49
3x + 4 = 49
3x = 49 - 4
3x = 45
x = {{{45/3}}}
x = 15 is the 1st odd integer, then 17, then 19

Check solution in the statement:
"sum of the third and twice the first of three consecutive odd integers is 49." 
 19 + 2(15) = 49
